Description
Overview: Traffickers are recruiting our kids in schools. The Child Trafficking Solutions Project created this training to equip teachers and school officials to recognize, rethink and respond to suspected incidents of trafficking and exploitation within school settings. Included will be grooming techniques, those at risk, indicators and red flags, and how to respond to potential victims as well as predators. Educators will leave understanding how they are on the frontlines in protecting at-risk students, how to intervene on their behalf, and who to call.
